I particularly like this issue of VK because it has so much lace and textural stitches. (There's also a lovely cardigan by Kathy Merrick knitted in Rowan KidSilkHaze, yum).
In case you haven't discovered it yet, Vogue has a very cool feature on their website called "VK360". You can watch a video of every garment in the issue, shown against a plain background, with shots from every angle and close-ups of the stitch pattern and design features. If you are someone who has a hard time envisioning items from a magazine in a different context, this feature is a great help. The models are pretty much unstyled -- in many of the videos, you can't even see their faces or hair. So if you find the fashion-forward hair or makeup in many layouts to be distracting, you should check out VK 360. (It plays music during the videos, so if you're taking a sanity break at work, best to turn off the sound.)

What a beautiful design! I don't generally buy VK, but I am definitely going to pick up this issue just for your design. LOVE IT!
p.s. Thanks for the warning about sound :-)
Congratulations on publishing a pattern in Vogue Knitting!! That's awesome!! The sweater is beautiful!! Great Job!!
Congratulations! What a flattering design! And I agree--I really like the 360

Gorgeous design! Congratulations!
Carol, this is a beautiful sweater. Can I look like the model if I make it?
I speak not your language but damn, I want this sweater now. The design is beautiful.
Very nice sweater design, and I love the idea of the VK360! What a pleasure to actually be able to see details of construction and not have necklines or cuffs obscured by scarves and jewelry, and to know that the modeled fit is the intended fit, not altered by a row of clothespins up the model's back!

Gorgeous! Congrats!
not only is it a beautiful sweater and a great photo, it is being modeled by a celebrity model; that is Teyona, the most recent winner of America's Next Top Model. Way to go Carol!
Congrats on the beautiful sweater. Before I knew that you designed it I was thinking of making it. Now I will. I think it's the best sweater design in this issue of VK.
More congratulations! Love everything about that sweater - texture, sleeves, general proportions. Thanks for the link to the video site.

Wow! That's a beautiful sweater. Have to make sure I get a copy. Congratulations!
I liked this sweater when I saw it in the magazine, but I was worried that there might be something wrong with it because the model had it all scrunched up on one side. So, thanks for the VK360 hint. Now I can like this sweater worry free :-)
So now when I next head to Edmonton where they actually have Vogue K. in the stores, I need to get me a copy. I sweater I love by someone I know...
